Recovering an interrupted job

A job that stops part-way, because the cable came out, the app closed, the power failed or an alarm ended it, is kept as an interrupted job. Wizards → Job Recovery picks it up from where the machine last got to, instead of starting the whole program again.

Before you start

Job Recovery needs a machine that knows where it is and where the work is:

Homed. Otherwise the tab says Job Recovery Unavailable with Machine must be homed before recovering a job. Open Home on the Control screen's rail and select Home All.
Work zero set. Otherwise it says Work zero must be set before recovering a job. Use the Location card on Control.

The three steps

1 · Select Job

The list shows each interrupted job: its name, Line a / b with a percentage, its elapsed time, Resumes at file line N, and Project: when it was part of a project run. A job needs positive executed file progress to appear here. A cancellation at its first tool-change prompt, before confirming the tool, remains in History but is not offered for recovery. With no eligible interrupted jobs, the screen says No Interrupted Jobs.

The pictured Adaptive Clearing 1.nc example shows Line 1223 / 30204, 4%, 1m38s, and Resumes at file line 1223. Read that explicit resume point before selecting the job; do not estimate it from elapsed time.

Job Recovery offers the interrupted Adaptive Clearing job at line 1223 of 30204 and resumes at file line 1223

Tap the job to recover. A job's ⋮ offers Delete. The confirmation names the job and warns This cannot be undone. Choose Cancel to keep it, or Delete to remove its recovery entry.

2 · Verify Homing

Verify Machine Homing confirms the machine is homed, with Machine Homed lit. Go to Control takes you to the Control screen if it is not. Next waits until it is.

3 · Verify Zero

Verify Work Zero reminds you that work zero must be where it was for the interrupted job, with Work Zero Set lit when one is set.

Continue to Run loads the job in recovery mode and takes you to Control.

Continuing on Control

Open Run in Control's left rail. Its start choice reads Continue instead of Start; choose it to resume from the recovered line. Opening Run alone sends no motion. Before tapping:

Check the tool. The recovered line may need a different tool from the one in the collet.
Check Z. If the tool was changed or the machine reset, set Z again.
Check the toolpath sits on the stock in the view.

Cancel Recovery, during the steps, asks Discard Recovery or Keep Recovering; the job stays in the list either way.
